Are your feelings hurt? I forgot this forum is filled with armchair bullies who can't even debate without cursing.
Maybe, but then again you got really Really really upset when Barca lost in the CL and didn't account yourself any better. We all lose our temper. That's why sports is a matter of the heart and not the brain. We're discussing a product we consume here. It's funny that you guys report each other's posts but then say we don't do enough as mods. If we'd go along and handle the posts all of you guys report amongst each other you'd be muted and/or banned at the same time. It's pretty funny.
LOL. What you said was idiotic man, and nobody "cursed" you. An athletes personality on the pitch doesn't always match their personality off of it. The player and the person are not always the same.
Try to show empathy man! Think about how bad you fell when barca loses or when Madrid wins.... that's what he's feeling.
Nah, they don't really wanna ban posters. The banter, as long as it isn't foul over the top drives the economy of this board.
It's not an excuse though; it's like saying someone saying they're a nice person when sober but not when they drink. Jude has always had a arrogant attitude where he often belittles his teammates when they fail to live up his expectations. I'm glad he has kept in-check so far. I lost my temper because many were supporting the corruption despite it being obvious only because it meant our direct rival was eliminated. Which is distasteful.
Jude season was bad,people blame shouder or whatever but the guy simply failed to play as a world class central midfielder and the team was getting outperformend in midfiedler by pretty much every team . He cant control a game ,isnt a real n 8 ,every time he face Pedri its really ugly .....the guy is a second striker/false 9,people overated him so much because he is a madridista but he isnt a midfielder ....running a lot is not an asset to his game,its a waste of his talent ....and you can see it he doesnt want to play this role and its frustrated in pretty much every game
Toni Kroos about Jude in his latest (Clasico covering) Podcast : "That has to do with the overall situation – that he got caught in a downward spiral where things just weren’t going well in general. It's obvious that there were various sporting problems. In my eyes, though, Jude was always someone who fought, who was there, who kept making those runs. He has to work even harder than last year – that shouldn't be forgotten. He used to be one of the front three, but now, for the most part, there were three players ahead of him, and he had to contribute a bit more defensively than before. He had to play a bit deeper. Before, he was more the one receiving the ball in the final third. So I think it’s more about the overall situation. For me, Jude is one of the most complete players in the world. I have zero doubt that he will be absolutely influential in the coming years – he already was last year in my view, still is, and will be even more so again."
We just need to rest Jude and fix his damn shoulder.. I don't understand what we are waiting for. Next year is a World Cup year as well... Fix shoulder...+ 2 months off. He will come out flying for Xabi next season.
He needs to be rested, get his shoulder fixed and play closer to goal. Bellingham is Rodrygo's replacement in the first XI.
I agree, I don't think there's an exciting CF option out there for us, and Jude holds on to the ball too much to be part of the middle 3. I think he can be a very good false 9.
I actually think you can make Bellingham into the best CF in the last fifteen years but that will nullify a lot of positive aspects to his game.
I think this shoulder thing is overhyped here. It's doubtful whether a partial dislocation a year ago could on its own explain his loss of form. The same with being run to the ground. He is 21 years old. Players of his age in other teams are playing every game as well and run as much.
Honestly we need FBs and CMs who can hit Mbappe/Jude/Vini when they make their runs. You’ll see each of them take off and no one has the vision or the balls to play the pass. Jude is always around when we have the ball in the final third but our crossing (Lucas, Fran/Mendy) has been atrocious and his runs get wasted. I agree him as a False 9 makes the most sense, while adding a ball playing mid.
It's pretty simple. Revert back to last year's frontline system with Jude behind Vini and Mbappe make late runs into the box.
Playing Mbappe and Vini higher up but more out wide with Bellingham linking the two together and coming into the center late. An inverted triangle.
Matthias Sammer was on a podcast and he spoke a bit about Jude Bellingham. Said he was incredible at that age, a once in a lifetime talent, but some things were very weird. He'd wait on purpose for the team to go to the fans and stay away, then once the team left he'd go there himself to get all the glory on his own. He wished this would have been handled by the team, saying it was one of the most childish things he'd ever seen anybody do.
I also read how his teammates at BVB were relieved to see him leave. Maybe this season humbled him and hopefully he can weed it out of his game as he is really worldclass on his day. And he really needs to see a specialist/surgery.
Funny seeing folks bend over backwards to find negative stuff about Jude now. Build em up and then break em down, eh?
Others regularly love to throw Tchouameni, Mbappe, Camavinga or Vini under the bus and magnify their flaws at every opportunity. Why is Jude immune? His season has been sub-par compared to last season.
You clearly didn’t understand my post. He isn’t and shouldn’t be immune to criticism of his performances ON THE PITCH.
